Download an Instagram Story on Android or PC

Updated 15 November 2026

The same browser tool works on an Android phone and on a Windows or Mac computer. You only need a public Instagram link and a modern browser.

On Android

1. Open the Story in the Instagram app and copy the link.
2. In Chrome or Firefox, go to the Instagram Story Downloader.
3. Paste the URL (the Paste button will fill the box if you allow clipboard access) and tap Download.
4. Save the file. It usually appears in your Downloads folder, and you can open it in Photos or Files.

On a computer

1. If the Story is open in the Instagram website or the official app, copy its link. From the phone you can also email or message the URL to yourself.
2. Paste it into the downloader in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari.
3. Click Download. The file saves to your usual downloads folder with a readable name, such as username-story-….mp4.

Batch links

On Android and on a PC you can paste several URLs, one per line. When more than one file is found, use Download all, or save them individually.
